International migration could help reduce poverty in poor countries
New research by the world bank shows international migration helps reduce poverty in
the poor countries where the journeys begin. and, in a finding that surprised
researchers, showed migration often benefits girls. in pakistan, girls in migrant
households stay in school an average of two years longer, and children in migrant
households are less likely to work, all because of the extra money sent back from
abroad.
The money that the world's approximately 200 million migrants send home is not the only
benefit. ideas also cross borders, in morocco, as emigraton rose – mostly to low
fertility countires in western europe - birth rates fell, and migration can promote
entrepreneurship.
These mass flows of people are not without social costs…and migrants often face
abuse and explotation. but researchers argue that migration is a key part of
globalization along with trade, and international money streams comes the flow of
people. and they say migration is not going away. if anything, it is likely to increase.
